seventh Day Adventist mission.

At the usual hour last night the ser
vices began at the Hail. Quite num-
Der We're present who listened attentive
ly to the discourse on "fJodern Spiritual
ism" The speaker began by saying
that he did not wish to assail individ-
uaIs, but only to examine tie isms in
the light of the Bible.
He took as his text lisa. 8;H:26. He
! stated there were different opinions in
regard to sp1r1tualism. Some regard it
as a humbug, others think it reality.
Spiritualism originated IN Hydesville,
New York, town near Rochester, in
184S, in family by the name of Fox.
1t was at first known as the Rochester
knockings." Since it's origin, less than
forty years ago, it has added to its num-
bers more than all the churches. The
Catholic statistics of 1876 stated that in
twenty-eight years it had gained II,
600, 900 adherents.
The speaker then compared their
works with the Bible; see lisa. s 10 20,
''To the law and to the testimony, if they
speak not according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them" He
then read the testimonies of some of the
leading advocates of spiritualism, show
ing that they deny the Bible, and also
God see Ps. 53:1. An extract was read
from the Banner of Light" also the
"Crucible," showing that they do not be-
lieve in God, and that they claim the
Devil as their father and God. ''Ban-
ner of Light" November 4, 1865.
Mr.. Curtis then said they were not in
harmony with the Bible on any point
They deny Christ. They do not improve
morality. Statements were read from
leading spiritualists, showing that they
repudiate the marriage rite Anciently
God had all who practiced necromancy
put to death. Deut. 10 :9-13. See Web
ster's definition of necromancy.
Spiritualism bases it's theory on pre-
tended communication with the dead i;
see Feel. 8 $50. ''The dead know not
anything" etc. also Job IA ;1O-21. The
work OF modern spiritualisln is a subject
OF prophesy; see Timothy 4:1-3 The
same was proven from Rev. 13:13-14;
16:13-14. All are invited to attend the
discourse tonight.

Chime of Bells.

Sometime during next month a chime
of nine bells will arrive in this city for
Kaumakapili Church. They were or
dered by Mr.. w. w. Hall from
the well known Clinton H. Meneely Bell
Company of Troy, New York. The
floor and frame work to receive them is
now being fixed in the tower. The bells
will be suspended stationary from
frame work, with the excep-
ton of the large tenor bell,
which will be mounted over the others
50 that it may be rung independ-
emily at any time required. Or a plat
loI IN about tive feet from the ground
floor will be fixed nine levers in a frame,
and these will be connected to the bells
by means of chains and rods. One OF
the bells is tuned to the flat seventh tone
of the scale, so that it will be possible to
play on the bells in two keys.

Remedies for seasickness.

Nothing can be more unreasonable than
continuous seasckness. The absolute
remedies are so many, the many voiced
witnesses are so grave that any one who
persists in being sick after the third day
is simply obdurate, and [ above all men.
Capt. Knight was something of u doctor
and he could bring round in a day or two
by water cure treatment. He succeeded
on the first day that / put my feet or

Go on board with Il full stomach of plain
but nOurishing food; DO not have any
thing on your stomach when you embark
Keep on deck. DO not go out of yOul
staterOom but lie quietly on your back.
Take champagne or claret or brandy OF
whisky or Cruel or oat lneaI pOrridge OF

Goals.
Then have an iceberg along your spine,
a light belt should be worn below the
waist; use Homeopathic remedies freely, il
makes little difference of what kind; blue
pills and Congress water are as good as
anything.
But the best of all things is to kick the
doctor cut of your state room, lie still il
your berth and wait for land. This is 6
sure cure!

Musicale at ,,nnn college.

The musicale given in the parlors Of
Oahu College last evening by the pupils
of Mrs J. S. Hanford, teacher of music
at that institution, was a success. The
hall was we'll filled with a cultivated and
appreciative audience. Among those
present were Rev. w. G. Merritt, Presi-
dent of the College, His Honor Chief
Justice Judd, Revs. Cruzan, Bingham
and others. The piano solos played by
Misses Hessie Dickson, Kate Rodgers
and May Dillingham; were well rendered,
and the artistic manner in which they
played their parts highly pleased the
audience. "The Tar's Farewell" sung
by Levi Lyman, was rendered in grace
full manner. Mr.. Lyman possesses a
very excellent voice, and his singing
brought down the whole audience. He
was encored, to which he responded
with F'Then You'll Remember Me, :"
which was also splendidly rendered.
The song MY Little Woman" by Prof.
L. Van Slyke, was sung in an excellent
style, and put the audience in a merry
humor; he was encored. The song, go
Luce di Quest Anima," by Miss Jennie
Grieve, was beautifully rendered, her
clear tones penetrating to every part OF
the room. 1t was the gem of the even
ing. The concluding piece, Norwegian
Wedding March, by the Punahou Glee
Club, was rendered in first-class style,
after which the visitors dispersed highly

THE CONSTITUTION.

We agree with the Gazette" shat too
little attention has been paid to the Con-
stitutiOn by the people most affected bv
it. If the Organic law had been more
closely studied its defects would long
ago have become so patent to all that
needed amendments would have been
made. But such as it is it remains pre-
cisely as it was granted by Kamehame-
ha V, with the exception of trihing
amendment increasing the pay of the
members of the Legislature.
We do not agree with our contempt
rary's reading of the Constitution as to
the converting OF an extraordinary ses-
sion. There is no question as to Or
binary sessions. We did not ignore Arti-
Gle %, as our contemporary assumes.
The final clause of that Article estab-
fishes the Royal prerogative in the mat
ter of converting an extraordinary ses-
sion, which Article As confirms in more
general terms. The history of the Con-
stitution shows that a diminution of
Royal prerogative was not III the mind
of thee King who made it, and close
perusal of that instrument must satisfy
any intelligent reader that this point
was jealousy guarded. Whatever is
loose or ambiguous in the Constitution
has reference to popular rights.
We are not arguing as to whether this
is right or wrong, wise or unwise, in the
abstract. Nor are we disposed to think
that the King would convene an extra
session without the concurrence of the
Privy Council. That, however, would
be as much matter of form as is the
consultation of the Privy Council before
converting the Legislature in regular
session for the dispatch of business in
the month OF April every second year.
This is mandatory under the Constitu-
ton, and should the Privy Council ad-
wise against regular Legislative ses-
sion its advice would be disregarded.
But in the matter of an extraordinary
session the Constitution clearly leaves
the summoning of one to the discretion
of the Sovereign To avoid an appear
ance of acting without advice, the Privy
Council would probably be consulted.
OF course, we do not infer that a special
.,sa,sIon will be- called. 1t would be vey7
expensive, and%the necessity =r6r it is not
apparent.

Shortly before noon yesterday horse
attached to a brake owned by Major
Hills, of the Tahiti Lemonade Works,
ran away from the stand on Hotel

corner of King street the animal col
lided with a saddle horse hitched near

For a moment it looked as if it would
stop, but it went along King street at q
furious rate, and the last seen of the
runaway was turning the corner near

duet for violin and piano. All the num-

safe with the exception Of one man.
Upon enquiring of Mr.. A. Frank Cooke,
President of the Pacific Navigation Com

THE RAMIE INDUSTRY

We read Mr.. E. Lycan's letter in a
contemporary on "Ramie growing in the
Hawaiian Islands," and regret to find
that up to date no really practical test
has been applied to the latest and pre-
sumabiy the best machine for the pur-
pose that has been patented or built on
these Islands. How a less perfect ma
chine, equally without practical test,
could be held to fulfill the conditions of
the law under which the original bonus
was offered is not, and has never been
apparent to our mind, although the
Minister of the Interior of that day
thought otherwise. Let the country see
the machine turning out fairly market
able article of ramie in quantity for ex-
port and no objection would be made to
the payment of reasonable bonus but
we deny that any proof has yet been
given, by any test yet applied, that the
machine in question has passed the ex-
detrimental stage.
We make this point, not in a spirit OF
opposition to the enterprise, but to slim
ulate exertion and lead to practical re-
suits. Already an industry as important
as sugar has been established-on paper
and a production of ramie bark worth
l0c to I5c per pound has been assured
on paper also. There is abundance of
rarnie to be had for an experiment on a
sufficiently large scale. The Hawaiian
Ramie Company has thirty-six acres
growing on its Puma plantation, while
about twenty acres are growing at Kona
in two patches. This ensures sufficient
